I know exactly what you mean!
Same here! It was "about" 5000 people out here and had been that way "forever". Everybody knew everybody, and it had a lot of nature (more than now!).
Over the last 30 years, I have watched the same...
Roads, "infrastructure", and people.
And now they "dictate". Can't help but see it as some kind of plot. If you watched it from above with a "time loop camera" it would look like an infection moved in and took over!

Oh well enough of that!
Wishing You a Very Blessed Tuesday!
